What's the difference between these 2?? i notice that my car 'idling' will drop after certain period, and have to tune up the idling point a bit inorder to maintain the same rpm, else it will be too low and it will vibrate too much...and also once the rpm drop below 1K, the fan vibration sound will be heard(mostly at night when headlight is on)... i am driving an old swife, with 3 piston engine. i know it will vibrate but sometime the idling needle will drop to near dead and suddenly jump back again... this is especially so when traffic jam. for info: engine mounting changed, throttle body not in good condition (as told by mechanic), spark plug new, aircon compressor changed, hmmm what else?? cant remember also. Any good ideas??

My toyota hiace van is nearing 100K and I am going to change the timing belt. Do I need to change my other belts together? Where can I buy original toyota timing belt?

ok, i've told some bros about the knocking sound at heavy loads, WOT (eg accelerating in 3rd or 4th gear past 4000RPM). at normal cruising, partial-throttle or light acceleration, the engine is smooth as baby's ass. i stared hard at my engine just now, tracing some lines. i have a theory about the knock. seems like the distributor vacuum has been bypassed. it's just a loop-back (if that makes any sense). with a single tube connecting to both inlets of the distributor's vacuum actuator. i'm assuming one's for vacuum advance and the other is for vacuum retard. so at 4000RPM in 3rd or 4th gear (heavy load, WOT, zero vacuum), the dizzy doesn't get retarded. thus KRAR KRAR KRAR KRAR! i haven't got access to a timing gun yet, but i'm assuming it's very advanced static timing right now. i also realized that this advanced timing is causing the engine to kick back at the starter motor when it cranks, causing a screeching noise. what do you guys think?

Hi there ... Wondering if any bros can advise on how to do a check on my timing belt as i heard that i can check by feeling the "teeth" of the belt to see if it's worn out ....or if there are any special points to take note of ... Cos' I am worried that the belt might give way ...

how strict is the TP in enforcing the 7pm rule? if someone comes out at 7pm according to their watch but TP watch shows 6.55pm, will they get fined? i'm not debating huge difference like 15 minutes or 30minutes but small like 5mins. besides, who officially keeps track of time in singapore? sorry, don't flame me...sometimes dunno the answer and dunno where else to ask. :(

Timing Belt Change At 50,000km For Aveo5 Advise Wanted! Any Experience Engine Savvy to advise. My Aveo5 due to reach 50,000km soon & Engine seem very good & normal. Should I change Timing Belt at 50,000km as recommended or drag further to 70,000km. Drive only on Singapore Road, changing at 50,000km seem too early. Most Car Agent requires 70-80,000km before changing. How to cut cost & save $$$ ?

Got a question to ask regarding change of timing belt and related parts, is it ok to bring the car for a long drive 1-2 days after changing the belt, pump etc? Cuz I will be driving up to KL on Friday and after that to Fraser's hill, then back to Singapore mid next week. Any problems with maintaining a moderate speed of 110-130km/h in the N-S h'way? Help appreciated, cheers

Hi, my friend whom is driving a matrix was quoted $350 to change the timing belt, water pumps, and other pumps.(he say you guys should know what pumps are supposed to be changed ) any idea if that price is good, or he is being charged a little too high. he wants to know which workshop offers lower price than $350.

The most beautiful feeling. The car became very quiet in its operation. The battery enables it to start w/o that initial high rev that later goes down to idle.

Just changed 2 of these timing belts on my NS1.5. One wide and one not so wide one for 70 bucks including labour. Cheap or did i got chopped? and the mechanic was telling me to change this huge round thing as well because there's some thread marks. this round thing feels smooth at the circumference. anyone know what it is?

I stumbled upon this in the net, not sure its old news. Only on the AGN 1.8 engine , it says variable valve timing. By any chance its a Vtec equivalent? I welcome any info about this. Thanks. Pages from vw_g4_2.pdf

Hi Folks, just had my timing belt done (the package). Car is now like the day i drove it our of the showroom. quiet, got back the torque I loved so mcuh when I got the car brand new. Engine is very smooth. Just a while back I was contemplating on whether I should change car or not. Now I think I'll hang on to it a while longer cos she feels like brandnew. Did my servicng at CA, a bit ex, but a huge piece of mind. Had bad experience with my old ride and outside workshops. Almost had a very bad experience with my octy as well with a outside workshop.
